HANOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The season of ice and snow is a thing of the past – suddenly, spring is
knocking on the door. It’s time to prepare your car for the warmer
months of the year. Above all, this means: swapping your winter tyres
for summer ones. But are your summer tyres up to the job of dealing with
rising temperatures? The experts from Mytyres.co.uk
recommend a thorough quality check.

Tread depth

Many countries stipulate the minimum tread depth allowed by law: while
the minimum in Europe is 1.6 mm, experts recommend an ideal summer tyre
tread depth of up to 3 mm. It is important to check the tread depth at
the edges of the tyre too, and not just in the middle. If the tread
depth is too shallow, or if the tyres are showing uneven wear, you
should change them.

Tyre condition

Tyres have to be able to withstand a lot. For this reason you should
always check your tyres for cracks, bulges, and porous patches before
fitting them to your car. If you see any damage on the tyres, they don’t
belong on a car. The age of the tyre is also important: tyres last for a
maximum of eight years before their grip decreases significantly, even
if they have low mileage.

Tyre pressure

If you think about the fact that each tyre has to carry a quarter of
your car’s weight, it becomes clear how important the correct air
pressure is. If the tyre’s air pressure is too low, this will affect
driving stability. Not only does this increase fuel consumption, it is
also an extreme safety risk. You can find the right tyre pressures for
your car in the operating instructions, and in many vehicles they are
also often displayed on the fuel tank cover or on the door frame.
